    ~$7/cup
    Gina L.

    Very tasty ice cream!! Speedwalked and arrived 5 min before closing on a Sunday night, welcomed by a short line out the door. Line moved quickly, and sampled a few flavors (they were out of the sweet corn) from the friendly owners. Can split flavors in the cup. Appreciation for the minimal decoration/seating so they can focus on flavor and quality at a reasonable NYC price point (~$7/cup). They do be playing heavy metal, if you choose to sit at the couple tables inside. Otherwise, they have a handful of plastic chairs outside.

    Blueberry and peach
    Cyrus A.

    This family-run passion project in Williamsburg had some delicious ice cream and sorbet. I usually steer clear of sorbet because I don't like the texture, but after talking to one of the owners and sampling a flavor, he convinced me to try both the blueberry and peach (the former being at the end of its season, the latter just coming into season). The blueberry was delicious, very tangy with little flecks of blueberry throughout. The peach was more subdued, not as bold with the flavor or texture. The store itself is tiny, no markings out front yet so you have to know where to look. There's some seating inside but most of the long, narrow space is for the line to the service counter. It's not the most efficient setup, so expect a bit of a wait if there's more than two or three people. I would definitely come back to try other flavors, but I don't love lines (unlike the rest of New York, apparently), so I'd say come when it's less busy if you can.

    Came right at opening time and there was already a line. Don't sleep on this, super small ice cream/sorbet store that seems to only be known by locals. Flavors were unique and delicious, not artificial tasting at all.

    The only meadows this new Williamsburg gelato spot brought to mind were the goat pastures from Severance. The aesthetic is minimalist, dystopian and white, even down to the color of the gelato. The hues of the pecan, peach and elderflower flavors were almost distinguishable. I suppose the upshot is that the flavors taste more "authentic" without coloring. The elderflower had a very pleasant mild taste, and the gelato overall had a nice silkiness. A welcome alternative to Martha's Country Bakery for dessert later in the evening.

    Stopped by this cute, minimalistic, farm-to-table, family-run ice cream shop in Williamsburg! They have daily rotating flavors and they do run out so come early! I was very sad they sold out of the corn, but got myself the oolong and honey flavors. The oolong definitely had a consistent tea flavor and the honey was subtly sweet which paired well with the oolong option. Texture wise, it was pretty smooth and creamy! Sometimes I worry that my gelato will melt quickly but it was not an issue with Common Meadows. Staff were patient and kind. The line can be slow because they do offer taste testing without any hard limits. The space is minimalist with a couple of tables/chairs inside and plastic stools on the sidewalk. Curious to check out their other flavors in the future!

    This place was such a pleasant surprise. I was a bit skeptical with the gentrification of it lol, but when I went inside the staff was so kind and patient, allowed us to try up to two flavors and also told us a bit about the concept of the shop. Every day they have new flavors and they are constantly experimenting to make new ones especially depending on what is in season. I love it when places pay attention to craft! Not to mention the ice cream was so creamy! I fear it may be the best ice cream I have ever had and felt so clean. Will definitely be back!

    Some of the best gelato I've had. Unfortunately forgot to take a pic, but had to post about it. The guy there was really excited about their ice cream and happy to talk about the effort that goes into to it, including importing the best ingredients possible. The maple was unbelievable, super creamy, incredibly smooth, and excellent maple flavor. Chocolate was also excellent, a little darker and less sweet than what you are used to and I thought it was perfect. They rotate flavors regularly and I will definitely be back. There is no real sign on the storefront but it is there.

    One of the best ice cream shops I've ever been to. The sudachi flavor was absolutely delicious and I can't believe it was vegan. They change the flavors everyday. Would highly recommend.

    Black sesame ice cream
    Tansy W.

    Great ice cream that has a nice soft whipped texture to it. Interesting flavors - we got the black sesame which my husband really enjoyed. And super friendly service!

    Do yourself a favor and skip this place. Genuinely one of the worst gelatos I've ever tasted. Although it is creamy, the flavors were either artificially tasting or extremely sweet. I tried the sasparilla and guava, both were inedible. I ended up just getting black sesame and coffee, each equally artificial tasting and super sweet. I had a few bites and had to throw it out. They give unlimited samples and people ahead of me were trying 5-6 flavors, which is why the line moves so so slow.

    I don't think I've ever seen such a simply decorated storefront, but I guess it allows you to focus on the important things - good food. I stumbled upon this place after dinner and saw that they have specialty gelato flavors. They switch out their menu daily, which is insane but also so cool because it'll be a new experience every time I come back. They're super friendly here and accommodated me trying almost every flavor because I'm very indecisive. Ultimately, I went for hojicha, sea buckthorn, and coffee. I have literally never even heard of sea buckthorn before but I really enjoyed the flavor. I found that their flavors are sweeter than most but are quite unique in taste. The price is also reasonable and I'm really excited to come back to try some other flavors.

I saw that this was in walking distance from my home, so we decided to take the walk for some ice cream. After viewing their socials, we decided that it was a good place to enjoy a cool treat on a hot day. They didn't disappoint. First, it's gelato, which is a bit different. My nephew wasn't enthused. He really wanted another type of icee. Me and my sister instead got a cone with cookies and cream, and i opted for the double chocolate and vanilla. The flavors were amazing! It was so rich and it didn't melt right away which was cool. The chocolate tasted just like a brownie. It was perfect, and the vanilla was a nice way to offset all that chocolate. The small cup comes with 2 scoops i believe. My sister enjoyed her cone as well. I will return to this spot. I enjoyed it. The service was cool.

It was my first time there and I wanted to try different flavors. There is a limit to how many flavors you can try. I decided on the passion fruit and a vanilla based ice cream with brittle or something it was quite delicious. I am still thinking about the ice cream. I have a lot of ice cream but this once was very memorable. The freshness and texture of the ice cream, it was smooth and the added texture of the mix in was so good, the perfect scoop and it gave it a nice flavor as well. It is definitely worth a trip back to Brooklyn.

They allow up to 2 samples of their flavors per person and when we arrived on a Friday night around 8pm with our toddler, there was a line wrapped around the corner. I went to the park with our little one while my husband waited on the line. The gelato is creamy and delicious and the fruit flavors are bold and refreshing! We got the Pistachio as well as the mango, blueberry and strawberry flavors. The child cup is 6.50 with 1 flavor, the regular size with up to 2 flavors is $8, the 3 flavor cup is 9 and I think I stopped looking lol but a pint is $14. The prices you see are also inclusive of tax - European style, which we appreciated. It is a bit pricey for what look like teeny cups, but the ingredients are organic where they can be and it has all been consistently delicious. They also pack the cups pretty well. We'll definitely be back and I'm sure the lines will only continue to grow as summer comes. Enjoy! :)

Anytime she wanted a sweet treat, that's what she asked for. Ordering it now keeps me connected to her. This past July, on her 3rd birthday in heaven, I placed an order to celebrate her. The menu only had cherry cheesecake that day, so I wrote a note explaining what the strawberry meant to me. The staff didn't just make it happen, they sent an extra slice of strawberry cheesecake on top of it. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. The people here have always been this kind. We love everyone who works there, and we're grateful for the small moments of care they've shown our family. Thank you for everything.
